The soft and sticky crown princess is reborn and throws herself into the arms of the crown prince
Chapter 264: A Promising Future (Revised)
"Are those things you showed me really useful?"
When Mu Yunyu heard that Ali Zhuomu dared to question him, he glanced at Ali Zhuomu with cold eyes, looking down on him.
"What else can you do now except listen to me?"
Although Ali Zhuomu was dissatisfied, he did not refute anything.
But he couldn't help but mock in his heart. He thought, wait until he turned the court of Damu upside down, and then see how rampant Mu Yunyu and Prince Damu would be.
Seeing that Ali Zhuomu didn't answer, Mu Yunyu asked him about other things.
"This king has allowed you to make a name for yourself in the inn. Have any other ministers in the court contacted you privately?"
Ali Zhuomu looked normal, but he looked at the chair next to him from time to time, thinking that Mu Yunyu didn't know the rules.
His uncle came in and stood there for a long time, why didn’t he ask him to sit down and talk?
Thinking of this, Ali Zhuomu didn't care and sat down in the seat.
Not only did he not directly answer Mu Yunyu's question, but he asked: "No matter what, I am still your uncle, how can you let me stand and talk."
Mu Yunyu looked at him coldly, glancing him up and down, which made Ali Zhuomu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Do you think it's appropriate for you to call yourself my uncle in your current state?"
Let’s not worry about the fact that Ali Zhuomu is now just a stray dog abandoned by Li Ge.
Just look at the human skin mask he is wearing on his face. He looks a few years younger than Mu Yunyu.
Such a person, or such a pretty boy, bearing the name of a descendant of the Fanyang Lu family, would never make people think that he is Ali Zhuomu.
What's more, Ali Zhuomu was the person who died with Mu Yunchen's own eyes.
Resurrection from the dead, what a heinous thing.
"You have to remember that you are now Lu Xiaoyu of the Fanyang Lu family. Don't mention uncle or not to me anymore."
"Also, the fewer people who know about this, the better. You better keep your mouth shut in front of my mother."
"you……"
Ali Zhuomu was so angry when he heard the harsh accusation, but he couldn't say anything.
After all, what Mu Yunyu said made sense. If he wanted to avenge his previous humiliation and take revenge, he could only temporarily obey Mu Yunyu's arrangements.
Mu Yunyu raised his eyebrows and looked at Ali Zhuomu. The moment their eyes met, both of them felt the hostility from each other, but in the end, Mu Yunyu was better.
After staring at each other for a long time, Ali Zhuomu finally gave in and stood up from his seat again.
He bowed respectfully to Mu Yunyu and said, "I, Lu Xiaoyu, pay my respects to the Prince of Heqin."
Mu Yunyu was very satisfied with Ali Zhuomu's transformation. He thought he had him under control and immediately put on a smile.
"Sit down and talk."
Ali Zhuomu snorted in his heart, and his expression was completely different from before.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Mu Yunyu nodded thoughtfully, repeated the question just now, and continued to ask: "This king allowed you to make a name for yourself in the inn. Have other ministers in the court contacted you privately?"
Ali Zhuomu bowed again and replied: "Your Highness, yes."
"Many officials in the court have approached me privately, hoping to recruit me as their disciple."
"The one who impressed me the most was the Minister of Rites."
Hearing this, Mu Yunyu's eyes flashed with doubt: "Are you sure? Is he really the Minister of Rites?"
Lu Xiaoyu didn’t understand why Mu Yunyu was so excited for a moment, and nodded in confusion.
Mu Yunyu's face showed an intriguing expression, whether it was regret or surprise. He then asked, "Has the prince come to look for you?"
Lu Xiaoyu was still confused, and shook his head at Mu Yunyu and said, "Neither the prince nor the people from the Ministry of Justice have come to me."
Hearing this, Mu Yunyu was indeed disappointed. He let Lu Xiaoyu stand out in the inn and make a big splash.
The original intention was to let Mu Yunchen know and make him want to recruit talented people.
Who would have thought that Mu Yunchen had no reaction at all?
Instead, a Minister of Rites came.
This spring examination was organized by the Ministry of Rites, and the Vice Minister of Rites Liu Shengyong was really a fearless man who dared to do such a thing as embezzlement.
It seems like he can be used, but the position of Vice Minister of Rites is too low.
Forget it, as a second choice, having a Minister of Rites is not bad, it's a pity that he couldn't attract the prince.
If Lu Xiaoyu could be valued by Mu Yunchen and become his disciple, it would be much easier for him to deal with Mu Yunchen in the future.
"You can go back now. If the Minister of Rites comes to look for you again, you can pretend to agree to his request. I have other plans."
Lu Xiaoyu didn't ask any more questions. He bowed to Mu Yunyu and stepped back.
It was not until they left the Prince's Mansion that Lu Xiaoyu revealed his true face. His eyes were fierce and the respect he had just shown in front of Mu Yunyu was gone.
Just a mere Mu Yunyu made him feel so proud.
As long as he passes the imperial examination in spring, Emperor Damu will reward him with an official position.
Let him gain a foothold in Damu's territory, and then Mu Yunyu will be in trouble.
In addition to the blood feud between Prince Damu and those who looked down on him, he would make them pay the price.
As Mu Yunyu expected, when Lu Xiaoyu returned to the inn, Minister of Rites Liu Shengyong could not wait to go to the inn again.
Under the pretext of checking the residences of each candidate before the exam, he sent his men to search other candidates, but he went directly to Lu Xiaoyu's room.
But when I went in, there was no one inside.
Liu Shengyong simply sat inside and waited. He had to wait until this person came, even if the tea was cold.
He didn't want to take the risk and contact Lu Xiaoyu at this critical juncture.
But he heard from the Ninth Prince and Grand Tutor Yu that the two most promising candidates in this spring's imperial examination were Ouyang Xuan and Lu Xiaoyu.
It is well known that Ouyang Xuan is a disciple of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the only person he can contact is Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Xiaoyu is a descendant of the Fanyang Lu family. He must be a man of great literary talent, especially since he had made a name for himself in this inn before.
I believe that the possibility of being on the list in the future is very high.
He has a clean family background and is easy to control. As long as he gives a little advice, Lu Xiaoyu will be grateful to him when he passes the exam in the future.
Today, the Minister of Rites Chen Cheng is being suppressed because he has no support in the court and his family has fallen into poverty.
Therefore, Liu Shengyong wanted to make some connections of his own in secret so as to make plans for the future.
But the people in the court are all old foxes. How easy is it to cling to the feet of a big tree?
Most of those who hold lower official positions than him are self-protective and content with the status quo, so there is no point in making friends with them.
So Liu Shengyong set his sights on the Spring Examination.
Taking advantage of his position, he found a promising candidate. The new top scholar was much easier to control than those people in official circles.
Liu Shengyong sat in Lu Xiaoyu's guest room for a long time before finally waiting for Lu Xiaoyu to come.
As soon as Lu Xiaoyu arrived downstairs at the inn, he saw two people guarding outside his room, and his heart suddenly became clear.
Look, isn’t there someone delivering it to your door?
As for Mu Yunyu's words, he listened to them, but whether he did it or not was his own business.
After thinking for a while, Lu Xiaoyu walked upstairs. When he reached the door, he nodded politely to the two gatekeepers.
Then he opened the door and went in.
"Master Liu, how could I trouble you to come here in person? If you have anything to say, just let me know and I will come to you."
As he spoke, Lu Xiaoyu wiped the table for Liu Shengyong and poured him tea. After a while, he finally sat down opposite Liu Shengyong.
Liu Shengyong looked at Lu Xiaoyu's completely different attitude. What's the matter? Didn't he refuse it before, acting upright and selfless?
Has it suddenly become like this now?
Although he had doubts, Liu Shengyong did not think much about it. He just thought that Lu Xiaoyu must have suddenly figured it out and changed his mind.
"Where has Mr. Lu gone? You've kept me waiting. The tea is almost cold."
As he guessed, if it weren't for Mu Yunyu's suppression, Lu Xiaoyu might have temporarily obeyed Mu Yunyu's arrangements.
According to Mu Yunyu, Lu Xiaoyu should be allowed to temporarily contact Liu Shengyong, so that Liu Shengyong can become a member of the Prince's Palace.
To put it bluntly, Mu Yunchen at least has a Ministry of Justice under him, but Mu Yunyu has nothing, so Mu Yunyu turned his attention to the Ministry of Rites.
But Mu Yunyu didn't expect that Lu Xiaoyu was a difficult chess piece to move, and he would be bitten back if he was not careful.
Exactly.
At this moment, Lu Xiaoyu only wanted Liu Shengyong to be his ladder to climb up, but he didn't think about Mu Yunyu's instructions at all.
Hearing the hints implied by Liu Shengyong's words, Lu Xiaoyu pretended not to know and stood up to change his tea, actually just to make Liu Shengyong's words clearer.
Since he wanted to win over Liu Shengyong for his own sake, he had to find a way to make Liu Shengyong feel a sense of crisis first.
"It doesn't matter if the tea is cold. I will go get another pot of hot tea for Master Liu. I just don't know if Master Liu can wait in time."
It is best for smart people to be brief when speaking. The moment Lu Xiaoyu and Liu Shengyong looked at each other, Liu Shengyong seemed to understand something.
Suddenly Liu Shengyong laughed loudly twice, looked at Lu Xiaoyu thoughtfully and said: "Why can't you wait? As long as it is the tea brewed by Master Lu himself, I will drink this tea even if I have to wait until dark."
When Liu Shengyong gathered his team and left the inn, he was in a very good mood, and the smile on his face was even bigger than before.
In the following days, Lu Xiaoyu really stayed in the inn obediently and studied Damu's spring examinations in previous years thoroughly.
After all, he had passed the Spring Examination first. With the help of this new identity, he could catch the eye of Emperor Damu and become the new top scholar.
He could then put Prince Damu to death step by step to avenge the humiliation.
It’s just that Damu’s stuff is really awkward to learn, unlike their farewell songs, where the folk customs are simple and there are not so many obscure sentences.
It's really torturous.
Ouyang Xuan was also preparing for the exam seriously at home. Originally, Mu Yunchen had given him special lessons and planned to let him go to the private school at Master Yu's home to listen to Master Yu's lectures.
As a result, Master Yu just randomly gave Ouyang Xuan two questions and sent him home.
Because Master Yu felt that even though he had been an official for many years, had taught for many years, and had countless disciples, even someone as noble as the crown prince had to respectfully call him teacher.
When the prince was his disciple, he had already demonstrated extraordinary talent and outstanding ability, and was regarded by everyone as a gifted and excellent person.
Mu Yunchen's wisdom and decisiveness are admirable, as if he was born to become the next generation of wise ruler.
In everyone's eyes, the little Mu Yunchen has a future full of infinite possibilities.
But the moment Master Yu saw Ouyang Xuan, he was just like when he first saw Mu Yunchen, so surprised that he was almost speechless.
He had met many scholars and learners in his life, but apart from Mu Yunchen, he had never seen anyone as talented as Ouyang Xuan.
To be frank, the future of Damu is promising with an heir like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and a talented scholar like Ouyang Xuan.
Another spring examination is coming, and everything is full of vitality.
For students all over the world, the Spring Examination is of great significance! This is an exam that determines their fate and is also the ultimate test of their years of hard study.
Although Mu Yunxu was young, he was ordered to be the chief examiner this time. He came to the examination room early in the morning with two deputy examiners, Yu Taifu and Prime Minister Mu.
This spring, the Ministry of Justice was responsible for the safety of the examination environment, and the Ministry of Rites was responsible for searching people coming in and out of the examination room.
Mu Yunxu and the two deputy examiners had to go through even more rigorous searches than the other students before they were allowed to enter the examination room.
The examiner must be impartial, fair, and honest.
Tutor Yu had been the chief examiner for many years, a teacher to the princes, and a man admired by scholars all over the world.
As for Prime Minister Mu, he holds a high position, above the emperor and below ten thousand people. He no longer needs to recruit anyone to consolidate his position in the court.
Since these two people were the deputy examiners, there was absolutely no room for anyone to speak nonsense. Even if there was, no one would dare to say it.
As for Mu Yunxu, although he had just entered the court and had not made any contribution yet, Tianyi had promised to let him serve as the chief examiner.
No matter how confused others are, they have to keep a low profile.
Mu Yunchen personally brought people from the Ministry of Justice early in the morning to carefully check every checkpoint, without missing a single detail.
The moment the alarm bell rang, a large number of students rushed into the examination hall, all of them were in high spirits.
Ouyang Xuan was also squeezed in, moving forward step by step. On the other hand, Lu Xiaoyu, who was behind the crowd, walked slowly and arrogantly.
Or maybe he is shrewd and does not take the stress and pressure of the imperial examination seriously.
Mu Yunchen just glanced at him from a distance and then shifted his gaze.
When I looked back, Lu Xiaoyu was about to enter the examination room.
Because the Spring Examination was so important, and Lu Xiaoyu was a candidate, even though Mu Yunchen had some doubts in his mind, he did not think about it too deeply.
I just felt that this descendant of Fanyang Lu family, who was only a year old, looked so lifeless when he walked.
But that little face still looks like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old, but the body seems to be in his forties or fifties.
